Exemptions from FAA regulations allowed Intel’s Drone 100 – a Guinness World record-setting sky light show – to perform for the first time in the U.S. The sun dropped out of sight one evening in March. The blue sky turned dark above California’s Palm Desert except for 100 colorful dots that danced like fireflies syncopated to a live outdoor orchestra. Invited spectators sat 500 feet away from a makeshift landing pad and watched a centennial of drones turn the night sky into a vibrant ballet of flickering lights.
